While tuition keeps increasing
at the University of San Francisco, so does the number of part
time faculty.
At USF in the undergraduate
college, the law school and the library there are 303 full time faculty to 400 part-time faculty according to Compensation, Benefits and Risk Manager Martha
Peugh-Wade.
The turnover is so great that
in a given year there are as many
as 700 different part-time faculty,
said Peugh-Wade.
The University hires part-timers since they are cheap compared to tenured professors said
Professor Millianne Lehmann.
Part-timers are paid $983 a
unit said Peugh-Wade. This is
considerably less than the
amount paid to tenured professors, and part-timers receive no

Part-timers "get a lousy deal,"
said Associate Professor Paul
Zeitz, "they are underpaid." This
is because they are not part ofthe
union.
Instructor Renee Brunelle said
she is also concerned. Part-timers "can't afford to live on what
they get here."

Chicken strips or grilled
chicken? When it comes to healthy
eating, think twice before ordering.
As students become more health
conscious, they face questions like
this and other healthy nourishment
choices when they meander
through the
food establishments on campus.
The fdbd offered for students at the University of San
Francisco is limited, however, to
what the
Marriott establishments have
to offer, said
USF Health Educator Melissa
Kenzig.
"While there are different options of food, the selection tends to
be very repetitive which makes it
somewhat difficult to eat a very
healthy meal everyday but it is pos-

Kevin Cooper, food services director, said he and six other
Marriott managers make food selections based on what other restaurants serve.
He said he also makes a conscious effort to provide healthy food
options for students.
"You can
find healthy options at all the
stations," Cooper said. "At the

A student's Social Security
number isn't so private if it's used
to find out his grade, access his e-
mail account and identify his remaining World Fare balance.
At the University of San Francisco, the nine-digit United States
government assigned identification number is used in a variety of
ways , including identification,
meal plans, academic records,
housing forms, grade posting,
passwords and student loans.
"I realized I was using it a lot
during registration when it was all
over the forms that I had to fill
out," said freshman Nicolette
Miller.
But according to Lowell Kepke
of the Regional Public Affairs office of the Social Security Administration, students may be using
their Social Security numbers too
often.
"The Social Security number is
a very important individual identification number," he said. "We
encourage employers, including
universities, to protect the confi
dentiality of that number.'
The federal government uses
Social Security numbers to keep
track of citizens in its records and
their earnings throughout their
lives.
However, since one number can
access personal information, problems arise in stolen identity.
Kepke said a criminal
needs only a name and
Social Security number
to steal an identity.
Once stolen, he said,
criminals tend to use
the numbers for financial gain without the
victim's knowledge
"Many times a
victim doesn't
find out
(that his
iden-
tity
has been stolen) until they have
their credit checked," Kepke said.
Credit is especially important
for college students because of
educational loans and other credits needed to start their lives after
college.
STUDENT-OO
Director of Public Safety Nate
Johnson said that the use of Social
Security numbers "worked for a
while, but as sophisticated white
collar crimes increase, it becomes
a problem."
He pointed out that students'
Social Security numbers were removed from the front of Univer-
s i t y
identification
cards
last year.
"My
card was
messed
up so I
went to get
a new one,"
junior Kimberly Garrett
said. "When I got
there they looked at
my card and said I had an old card
(with my Social Security number
on it) and needed a new one."
However, many students said
they were unaware of the change.
